“A poem discovered in Misram in 127 A.D. (After the Destruction)”

In a land thought unknown, near the Elysian Grove,

there lived a half-mortal named Medeva, and

‘though her husband forbade it, she practiced strong magic —

kept a collection of spells on her walls

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURj5kjnXV6

wrapped up in scrolls, bound in thick leather tomes,

secrets that had been forbidden,

indexed according to author’s last name, the archivist

kept them locked and well-hidden

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE4CzWS6An

— words of a prince who led Valentian ships,

recollects the rites of a priestess,

who carried on-board a metaphorical sword,

prayers to the weather and east wind

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb66iFR8zXW

— tales of a people who lived in steel cities,

written down by authors unnamed,

revealed the secrets of gods they worshipped,

now dead, Medeva watched over their graves

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtendlTHJRx

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJjZaCDIeW

she knew they were real by her visions),

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ6yYmdSOk

their poems by Kemetians,

the songs of their heavens,

the mouths of their angels in chariots,

her scrolls had been filled with a divine set of skills

passed down by a collection of ancients —

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOwcJVjeeO

the man she wed known as Jason

the Dread, a member of the Society of Alchemists,

believed her magic was a fool's task, an errand,

passed down from dead preachers of treason,

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLuSTB1dZ

so they scoured the house, searched for hours and found

a door veiled by a sky-blue woolen rug

spun in a circle and woven in the center — a medallion

from a story the bards sung.

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXmDUWJFBg

(what if they’d known of that secret legend,

would they have recognized a warning to turn

around? known of that violet iris blooming inside

a diamond studded silver crown?)

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobTaBKYf7d

but some know nothing of Mystery,

of that which resides in the Unknown,

and therefore will fail to discover the source

of that which calls out from their bones.

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLronC4qymQ

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuAVSUqnar

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZLUKqLHOk

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCJjl38KAC

not a single book she’d forgotten,

not even a single line,

knew she must have taken them with her

— this future, she had divined —

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnkpGWs6es

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQQOGGkzj6

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7wcrekBpB

Those halls were made of granite, they knew of no escape;

realized long before they got there, she chose to seal their fate.
